The Biggest Regrets of dying Hospital Patients
As children, we don’t often think about how short our life is. We have all in our minds what our parents cook us for lunch, which movie or TV show will we watch next or where we will be going for a picnic with friends. And during all of those moments we often neglect the hour for when our eyes would be closed forever to see the world anymore. As we grow older, the thought of death might enter our minds.
But still, as we grow up, the responsibilities surge even more. And we always have a thought of living of plenty of years (that none of us even has an idea of), right? So, we live our lives on the basis of denial. Consistently we dream of long-lasting existence.
I don’t want to depress anyone of you, but simply pouring a little gleam on the ideas to follow your dreams NOW that you won’t regret later.
Here I’ll be discussing some dreams that never came true but became remorse.
So, let’s dive in!
“I WISH I DIDN’T WORK SO HARD”
Bronnie ware (palliative nurse from Australia) stated what her patients on death bed used to regret about their lives. And some of them wished that they didn’t work so hard. In life, we have to undergo such circumstances where working hard becomes an extreme need. During this hard work and toil, he forgets to cherish the beautiful moments of his life. You & me work hard for what? To achieve a goal? To have a good amount in our bank accounts? To live a luxurious life? But, in all of these we just forget about how short a life span we have. And among all these we lose our connection with our loved ones. We, as human beings, need so much more than that. Because at the end all you will remember is your relationships and the memories that you have made with them, all the laughs that you have made with your loved ones.
Yes! We do have to work hard to survive, but don’t forget to build relationships and a world outside your job.
“I WISH I LIVED FOR MYSELF MORE”
Sometimes, you always struggle to make others happy even if they had not been good enough for you. And the life goes on this way, but when it’s time for the end, you regret that you should have lived for yourself more rather than spending your life by making others happy. Some of the people wanted to knock other things off the bucket list, but they had to die knowing they still had dreams. Don’t die with your dreams in heart, don’t die making others’ dreams come true and stuffed yours under the rug. Live for yourself! Live your life the way you want without waiting for someone’s consent.
“I WISH I LIVED WITHOUT WORRIES”
In this era, you have so many things to worry about. You worry about your earning, about your relationships, about your goals, about your children and so on. This is a century of worries. We, humans, are making it more complex with each passing day. We work all the day, all the nights, damaging our physical and mental status. On the death bed, we regret living our lives better, without any concern and worries. The fleeting nature of life should cause us to shed our worries immediately, but unfortunately, we don’t feel how quickly life goes by until we wake up one day as 75 years old. Then, we begin to see how small our worries are. Remember: Don’t be a worrier; be a warrior.
“I WISH I CARED LESS OF WHAT OTHERS THINK”
I would just ask you this: Why care so much about the opinion of others?
Keep in mind that most people probably don’t think about you as much as you do, so stop worrying! Live your own life with your own wishes and your own truth! Do what makes you happy, nothing else matters. Live your life authentically, happily and independently.
“I WISH I LIVED IN THE MOMENT. “
More than anything else, it seems most of us have issues with living in the NOW. We reminisce on the past and wish we could bring it back, or we long for a future that hasn’t happened yet. Either way, we live out of alignment with the present, which means that we’re NEVER truly experiencing life. We’re experiencing moments in our memory or moments in our imagination. We aren’t experiencing the raw moments, the moments unfolding right before our eyes.
Conclusion:
If anything, remember that one day, you won’t have any more present moments left to experience. You won’t have road trips to go on, or mountains to climb, or children to kiss goodnight, or a partner to cuddle with. You will have your memories, serving as a reality check. Did you live according to your dreams? Did you live the hell out of this life and leave no stone unturned? No matter your age, you can choose to live life fully right now. Don’t wait until it’s too late and, and all you’re left with is regrets. Say no to regrets, and say yes to fulfilling your greatest destiny.
